Constituent units (CUs) of the University are urged to conduct an assessment of their curricular programs, and to review and strengthen the respective niches of their CUs. The review should be based on the 2008 Charter of the National University, the 2011-2017 UP Strategic Plan of President Pascual, CU niches and strengths, national needs in relation to regional and global needs (competitiveness), national education system changes (K-12), and the quality of the curricular program.
